What does the "e-value" do?

[Deng Lor]

When  using the OpenSSL to generate RSA keys, there is 
a parameter "e-value", which can be either 0x10001 or
0x3. I have read some articles of RSA, but none of them
refer such a parameter, are there some body can tell me
what does this "e-value" do while generating RSA keys.

Any help are appreciated.
